Orthodontic Technology in San Diego, CA
Smile Arc Orthodontics in 4S Ranch uses advanced technology, including 3D cone beam CT imaging, iTero® digital scanning, Damon self-ligating braces, a soft-tissue laser, and Invisalign®, to make treatment more precise, comfortable, and efficient. Technology enhances care here; it never replaces the personal attention of our orthodontists.
Staying at the forefront of orthodontic innovation lets us improve your experience, shorten treatment where possible, and deliver excellent results. Here is a look at the tools we use.
3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
Our 3D CBCT scanner captures detailed three-dimensional images with minimal radiation, letting us evaluate tooth position, jaw structure, and airway health with exceptional clarity. That precision supports safer diagnostics and treatment plans tailored to you, and it is part of what powers our airway-focused care.
iTero Digital Scanning
Instead of goopy putty, the iTero scanner builds an accurate 3D model of your teeth in minutes, which speeds up Invisalign planning and lets you preview your potential results.
Damon Self-Ligating Braces
The Damon Q and Damon Clear systems use self-ligating technology to move teeth comfortably and efficiently. By reducing friction and eliminating elastic ties, they can mean fewer visits and a more relaxed experience.
Soft-Tissue Laser
Our Sirolaser diode laser allows precise, gentle soft-tissue treatment with less discomfort, supporting faster healing and better comfort when it is needed.
3M Flash-Free Bonding
We use 3M flash-free adhesive brackets for precise placement and a cleaner bond, which reduces excess adhesive around the brackets and supports better hygiene throughout treatment.
Dolphin Imaging and Patient App
Dolphin Imaging software and a dedicated patient app keep communication simple, so you can visualize progress and stay informed between visits.
